Nephrectomy for Wilms' tumor was performed on 58 patients over a 20-yr period, and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy was performed on 35 who presented with no demonstrable metastases. The survival rate was 100% for 19 clinical group I patients with negative nodes. Positive nodes in 9 instances led to 5 long-term survivors and significantly influenced staging as a guide for further therapy.

Introduction: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor found in childhood.
Case Representation: Primary renal neuroblastoma has been reported in the literature as case reports. Almost all cases had a preliminary diagnosis of Wilms tumor and were diagnosed as neuroblastoma after nephrectomy.

Background: Patients with diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor (DAWT) experience relatively poor oncologic outcomes. Previous work has described mechanisms of telomerase upregulation in DAWT, posing a potential therapeutic target.
Methods: We assessed in vitro sensitivity to vincristine, irinotecan, and telomerase-targeting drug 6-thio-2'-deoxyguanosine (6 dG) in DAWT cell lines WiT49 and PDM115 and in spheroids derived from cell lines and four DAWT patient-derived xenografts (PDX).

Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) has been validated to be a crucial regulator in the tumorigenesis and advancement of diverse malignancies. This study intended to probe the impacts of WTAP on colorectal cancer (CRC) progression from the perspective of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. The differential expression patterns of WTAP in clinical CRC samples and cultured cell lines were validated via qRT-PCR and western blot.

The study was designed to investigate the impact of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) writer Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) on the progression of atherosclerosis (AS) and to further elucidate its possible regulatory mechanism. The m6A levels and WTAP expressions were initially assessed through RIP, qRT-PCR, and western blotting. An in vitro model of AS was constructed by ox-LDL treatment in RAW264.
